Eye Pressure - Angel Closure Glaucoma
Yesterday I got checked my pressure was 12 (GAT)
Also in my reports it shows Anterior Chamber: Normal in contents and depth pacd=1ct and Deep and and Quiet.
Im I in the risk of angel closure glaucoma in future? Also I have myopia -3 in my left eye and pathological myopia/coloboma in my right eye
Like if i strain something or do strength training in gym in that case can it lead to this angel closure glaucoma.

Hello, your current pressure of 12 mmHg and a deep anterior chamber are reassuring, but to definitively evaluate your risk of angle closure, a gonioscopy exam (which checks the drainage angles directly) is essential, alongside evaluating your pathological myopia/coloboma to safely clear you for gym strain or heavy strength training.
